ings, and to characters of :re-ference `marked thereon, which form apart of this h'specification.

This invention relates, .generaflly, to improvements in toy-horns; and, the present invention has reference, more particularly,

'to `a novel ltoy-horn comprising a suitable number of telescopica'lly disposed `sectional members, all arranged so that the several members can Ibejeasily brought kinto extended relation, to produce 1a complete Ahorn, or

. said sections being adapted to be fbrought into collapsed relation, so as to bring ,the parts of the hor-n into nested relation with each other and to produce a very smallpackaga/which may he readily carried in the pocket when the horn is not in use.

The present invention, therefore, Vflaas'for its principal object to provide fa horn comprising a number-'of collapsibly .disposed sectional members for the purposes hereinabove stated. i

The invention has for its furtherobjectto provide in connection with a horn of the character stated an inclosing shell or casing in which the horn-sections may be easily arranged when in their nested or collapsed relation.

The invention has for its further object to provide in connection with a horn, means forming with one of the horn-sections a chamber for the reception of a quantity of confetti, and a screen-cover which ordinarily retains the confetti within said chamber, but through the meshes of which the confetti is readily forced when blowing the horn.

Other objects of the present invention not at this time more particularly enumerated will be clearly understood from the following detailed description of the present invention.

With the various objects of the presentV sists, iprimarily, in the novel Thorn hereinafter set Sforth; and, the invention consists, furthermore, in ith'e =novel arrangements `and combinations of lthe o `various devices and parts, `as well as 4in .the details of the -construction of thefsaidiparts, all of which `will be'more Afully vdescribed in the following speci-cation, and then Vlinallyfembodied Linithe clauses ofthe claim which Vvare appended to" and which form an essential part of the said specification.

- The `invention is clearly illustrated 4in the accompanying drawings, in whichr" ,Figure/l isalOngitudinal vertical section of la complete horn gmad'e according to and showing one embodiment of 4fthe gprinciples of the ,present invention. Eig. 2 is a similar sectional lrepresei'itation of the '-honn,fillus trating the several horn-sections in their nested yor ,col-lapsed frelation 4and `arranged within an inclosi-ng ,shell `jor casing and a screen-cover, .thesaidshell creasing and the screen-cover also :being represented vertical section; and Fig. 3 iis a .transverse section, said section lbeing taken on :line 33 in said Fig'. l1, looking in K`the direction of the arrow Similar characters .of reference are iemployed in the said several vfigures zo-f `the drawings, to indicate lcorresponding parts.

iin -the said drawings, .the .reference-character l yindicates-thecomplete horn, the same comprising any suitable number of hollow :truncated cones, fermi-ng the `several y.hornsections of the horn. In the present case, l have shown the horn as being comprised of live of such hollow truncated cones, the same being respectively indicated by the reference-characters 2, 3, 4t, 5 and 6, but it will be evident that any other number of such cone-sections may be employed, if desired.

As shown more particularly in Fig. 1 of the drawings, the several truncated cones increase relatively in size from the one end of the horn to the other end of the horn, the rear end-portion of each horn-section being relatively smaller than the front end-portion of the next-succeeding horn-section, and the same being in registration with each other, as shown in said Fig. l, the various sections can be readily brought into frictional retaining engagement, so as to provide a complete horn of the general conformation and construction represented in said Fig. l of the drawings. The horn-section 2, as will be evident, provides the mouth-piece of the suitably disposed thereinwa reed,l as

suitable constructionr"l Y l`Within the end of the neXt-to-last horn-lA section, as 5, there may be suitably disposed* a disk or rIlaleaf-LS 8y formed With suitably"` tion and as defined in the claims which are i appended thereto.

disposed perforations 9, or 'other' suitably@ shaped openings, the purposes of'vvhich are r self-evident. Over the rear end-portion of the 'last'Yl1orn-`sectionl,"' as 6,`:is Asuitably slipped, and suitably held by friction, or otherwise, so as to bev adapted to be removed 11j from engagementlvvith said horn-sectionv 6,

if ldesired, a screen-cover, said cover com-j prising a' bezel 1O"in\'vhich"' is suitably mountedv a 'Wire-mesh" screen `11, or similar means lthrough which confetti'12, adapted to be contained in the chamber formed yby the hornfse'ction 6, the'diskor plate 8Y and the screen-cover, is expelled when blowing into the mouthpiece of. the horn,v as vvill`.be clearly evident. I

V Whenfthe horn is not inuse,i the several horn-sections vcan be easily brought from theirffrictional holding engagement indicated in said Fig'. 1,*'to their nestedo'r col'- lapsedrelation, represented in Fig. 2 of the 3. drawings, pressing upon both endsof Vthe age whichn can be readily' and' most conveniently carried in the pocket. When thus collapsed`,'the nested horn-sectionsmay be inclosedvlin'a suitably formed shell or casing,"

.- 1. A horn comprising a series of'liollow truncatedv cone-shaped sections adapted to be brought into nested relation and also in fricti'o'nal holding engagement to provide a complete horn, one of said sections being provided With a reed and serving as a mouthpiece, combined With means for retaining confetti Within the horn.

2. A horn comprising a series of hollow truncated `cone-shaped sections adapted to be brought4 into nested relation and also in frictio-nal holding engagement to provide a complete-horn, one of said sections being providedwith 'a reed and serving as a -diskin one 'of ysaid li'ornlsections, and an end screen-cover, ,all arranged to provide' a -'chamberfor the reception VYof confetti.
